Rockstar : Supernova

[Rod Stroker]

Anyone watching this ? Totally enjoyed the INXS show last year - to the point where it's probably the best reality TV show I've seen yet. This year looks like being even better (Was a HUGE fan of Metallica and Motley Crue). The dude Toby from Melbourne sounds alright. Can see a bit of Barnesy in him. Interesting to see that they've used the same rock mansion, concert hall, etc.

Oh, and Brooke Burke is back hotter than ever !

I wont be getting into it until it gets later into the series and they actually sound like they could be half decent. But they wont be.

FFS INXS did need a new singer so it wasnt 100% cringeworthy but these are three has-been musicians from rock groups. I cant see it being anything other than horrible unfortunatley.

Money hungry *****.

Delina's version of Lithium was brilliant. What a stage presence this lady has. Can easily fit in with the band and has a distinctive sound. I hope she can demonstrate range over the coming weeks.

I really enjoyed Rockstar INXS so was looking forward to this series. Im a huge Metallica and GnR fan so with the involvement of Newsted and co also felt a duty of care to also check it out.

Most of the performers have webapages where you can check out some of their other material so worth the effort, a lot are through Myspace.

Yeah that version of Lithium was great. I also enjoyed Pinball Wizard by Storm amongst a couple of others.

Delana did it again. Had probably the toughest gig this week to present a country and western song into something. Took the punt, slowed it down, turned it into a rock ballad and hit paydirt again. Already the others are hating her, as evidenced by Lukas's smirk when Dave toyed with her to make her think he didn't like it but then they said it was awesome and she only got token claps from the other performers. Shame because she is nice to the others in the house but she has been a standout both weeks while others have had zero or one good performance. Lukas was okay again, Storm was good and Toby was extremely good.

I expect Tody will get the encore because they won't want to give it to Delana twice in a row.

stupid show

 

[Sheeds]

I thought Magni did a good job of My Generation.

I also think the band needs to give more feedback to the performers. Clarke and Lee the main offenders have given very little as far as constructive criticism is concerned. Just saying " that sucked" give them some advice then.

I would expect there will be more clinics and whatnot like last series.

 

[Nt Bomber]

I think Supernova would be ****ed off with the quality of the singers who are on this show.

All are crap except possibly Delana.

How some of them got this far when they where supposed to be selecting a singer for a heavy rock band is beyond me.

 

[year of the roo]

I can't see how this could even compare to last year. It will no doubt make money but the quality of the show and performers will just not be there at all.

 

[Buddhy]

The aussie bloke is pretty good. No one else seems suited to the style the are looking for though.

 

[w00dy]

at this stage you'd have to say dilana has to be a very good chance... lithium was an easy song to really nail i feel, slow verses with a big burst at the end... but ring of fire was nothing but, and she did a fantastic job with it...

i do agree though there may not be enough hard rock singers, although having said that, they're not giving them many hard rock songs to sing either... that's why if you're in the bottom three you need to pick a song that really rocks so supernova could see you fronting their band...

i didn't watch the first series, however i've seen all of this series so far and have enjoyed it...

 

[Carlos]

Toby is suprising me. He actually fronts Melbourne coverband "Tarko" who also play thier own stuff under a name which escapes me at the moment, but they did get the Melbourne Nickelback support. But Toby has come a long way from a few year's back when i played a couple of gigs with Tarko. He was a very ordinary singer, but has always been a very good front man and rather popular with the ladies.

Good on him. Hope he wins it.

 

[crownie]

how many skinny wussbags would you want to pick from to front a rock band? they have certainly overloaded on them

the standard so far has been average, Supernova would be praying it improves or its going to be a big flop

 

[Sheeds]

that's why if you're in the bottom three you need to pick a song that really rocks so supernova could see you fronting their band...

Very important point.
Matt or Chris whoever it was in the bottom 3 first week, certainly coming out and singing Duran Duran or whatever he chose was not going to go down well with the group.

 

[raskolnikov]

Dilana is awesome. I could watch her all day.

 

[apollo_creed]

Which one's the Aussie?

Is he the bald guy with glasses?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

The Aussie (Toby) has the spiky blondish hair and an eyebrow piercing. The girls love him. Is probably the front running guy along with Lukas perhaps.

Dilana impressed the band again last night with her version of Zombie by the Cranberries. You is totally awesome and has a great rock voice for a woman, even enough to hold her own with these rockers.

Whether they will go for a girl is another story. Personally she is the heaviest rocker there and her voice is so unique, it will be quite a good marketing tool IMO. 3/3 - go Dilana.

 

[crownie]

Jenny goes home,

cant believe Ryan Star (the worst of the lot) didnt even get in the bottom 3 and is still there.

 

[BERT]

How good was Dana's version of High Road Easy last night? Saved her from the chop I think.

 

[Deestroy]

I can't believe this show is meant to be for a hard rock band. Most of the females would be more at home on American Idol and most of the guys would be more at home fronting Creed.

 

[Northern Exposure]

I too hope Toby does well. He certainly used to party hard in Tarko. Carlos were you filling in for Ads or was it after he left??

 

[Brittany]

Wasn't as excited for this to come out as I was for Rockstar: INXS, but it hasn't been too bad. I really hope Toby does well, he has been pretty bloody good so far
I am not watching it as Religiously as I was last year so sometimes I have no idea what the hell is going on..

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

cant believe Ryan Star (the worst of the lot) didnt even get in the bottom 3 and is still there.

A cynic would suggest that they might keep the New Yorker around to cash in on all the NY phone voters. That wouldn't happen though ... would it?

has he even been in the bottom 3 yet?

surely he wont last to long

 

[Rod Stroker]

They can skip the next 10 weeks of the show. Final 3 will be Lukas, Dilana, and either Storm, Magni or Toby. The rest are nowhere near it, and the band knows it. But I'll keep watching the next 10 weeks because I'm hooked on Brooke

How cool is Jason Newstead ? Just doesn't have a bad bone bone in his body. Even when he tries to be critical with his feedback, he still ends up looking like a nice guy.
